What you'll get
Your whitepaper topic or thesis (e.g. 'emerging workforce trends in healthcare logistics'), any existing internal data or reports you want analyzed, a list of 3–5 key messages or angles you want emphasized, and your company's brand guidelines if you have visual preferences (colors, fonts, logo placement).
The student will conduct secondary research across industry reports and publications, build a detailed outline with 4–6 sections, draft the full manuscript with clear topic transitions, embed 2–4 data visualizations (charts, tables, infographics), compile a reference list with proper citations (APA, Chicago, or your preferred format), and design a polished PDF layout with cover page, table of contents, and professional typography.
A final PDF whitepaper file (print-ready, 300 DPI assets), a separate Word or Google Doc source file for easy editing, high-resolution PNG/SVG versions of all charts and graphics, a formatted reference list, and a 150–200 word executive summary as a standalone document.
Your $1,000 stays in escrow until you review the finished PDF, confirm the research depth, data accuracy, and design quality match your expectations—then you release payment only when satisfied.
Common use cases

A trade association needs its flagship annual whitepaper written with member survey data, expert commentary, and policy implications.

A boutique consultancy needs its annual thought-leadership whitepaper written from client engagements to fuel inbound leads through the year.
Insurance underwriting shift
A regional P&C insurer needs a whitepaper on how climate-driven claims patterns are reshaping underwriting models in the next 5 years. They'll use it to educate brokers and position themselves as forward-thinking before their competitors publish similar research.
Legal tech platform launch

Frequently asked questions
Do you accept my own data or surveys, or does the student only use published sources?
The student will analyze and cite internal data you provide—sales trends, customer metrics, proprietary research—as long as you share it in spreadsheet or report form. They won't conduct new interviews or surveys, but they'll synthesize what you hand over alongside published benchmarks and industry reports.
What happens if I want to revise the thesis or add a section after the first draft is submitted?
One round of structural revisions (e.g. reordering sections, changing the focus of one chapter, adding a new data visualization) is included. Substantial rewrites beyond that scope will require a change order. The PM will clarify scope before the student begins.
Can the student incorporate interactive elements like embedded video links or clickable hyperlinks in the final PDF?
Yes—the PDF can include clickable links to your website, reference URLs, and anchored table-of-contents navigation. Video embeds won't play in a static PDF, but you can add QR codes or hyperlinks pointing viewers to video content online.
If my industry uses a specific citation standard (e.g. IEEE for tech), can the student follow that format?
Absolutely. Let the PM know your preferred citation style upfront—APA, Chicago, IEEE, Harvard, or custom—and the student will format all references and in-text citations to match before final delivery.
What file formats will I get, and can I easily extract the charts for use in other presentations?
You'll receive the full PDF, an editable Word document, and separate high-res PNG and SVG files for every chart and graphic so you can drop them into slides, social posts, or other marketing materials without loss of quality.
